On the plane, Jiangnan glanced at the time. Half past nine?
It was still a bit early, so he started scrolling on his phone and opened the “Water Pipe” app!
As soon as he entered, the top headline on the homepage caught his eye!
Title: Natural disaster! At 1:30 last night, a Dao Heaven-level powerhouse battle erupted over the high seas of the Pacific! One side suspected to be a spatial-type Dao Heaven, identity unknown, seriously injured and fled!
(Video).mp4!
Jiangnan was stunned. Wasn’t Pierce chasing the Magician? Who did he end up fighting?
The video was transmitted from a satellite. In the footage, a light sphere covered a thirty-thousand-metre radius, then exploded with a boom!
Jiangnan’s scalp tingled. For a moment he thought he was watching a hydrogen bomb explosion video!
After the white light faded, several deserted islands on the high seas had been completely levelled!
The seawater boiled, bubbling and steaming. Plenty of fish, shrimp, and crabs floated up, their shells turned red!
Jiangnan looked regretful. Such a huge pot of fish soup. If only he had been there. He would have definitely sprinkled some spring onions or something!
Who was this? Could it be that Audi owner?
What kind of freakish ability was this? Way too brutal. Thinking back to how he had blackmailed the guy earlier, Jiangnan felt a little panicked inside!
At the end of the video, after the white light passed, a figure could vaguely be seen flashing a few times before disappearing over the sea!
The footage was edited and zoomed in. Though blurry, it still captured a few frames!
It was clearly a bald old man covered in blood, his face swollen like a pig’s head, his body almost completely charred!
Jiangnan grinned. Wasn’t that Pierce?
Injured? Good, he deserved it!
The discussion threads below the video exploded!
“It has to be the Illuminati God Lord! The only Dao Heaven-level light-type ability user in the world is him!”
“Who’s that spatial-type Dao Heaven? It can’t be Pierce, right?”
“There are only a few spatial-type Dao Heavens! Use your toes to think!”
“Hiss~ How did they beat him this badly? This isn’t right!”
Below were all guesses wondering if it was Pierce!
Then Jiangnan noticed that every comment had a reply from an account called “Rumour Terminator”!
“That’s not Pierce! Pierce has hair!”
“Are you slandering him? Delete this! Be careful or I’ll sue you for defamation!”
“Pierce doesn’t look like that. The face doesn’t even match. What nonsense are you spouting?”
Curious, Jiangnan clicked on the account. It was obviously a throwaway, created just that morning, profile incomplete!
Hundreds of replies, all defending Pierce!
Jiangnan was stunned. This throwaway couldn’t be Pierce himself, could it?
Then a twisted smile slowly spread across his face!
(˵ಡꇴಡ˵)✧
He clipped a seven-second segment from the video he had taken of himself, removing everything that showed him!
Then he changed his account name and ID and posted it!
Truth Spreader: @Rumour Terminator! Hmm?
∠(ಠ౪ಠ」∠)_ (Video).mp4
The video content was as follows:
(#)ᵒ̌益ᵒ̌) I said! I said! Stop hitting me, I’m Pierce! I’m America’s spatial-type Dao Heaven Pierce!
Though only seven seconds long, it was pure gold. The bald, swollen-faced old man was roaring loudly that he was Pierce!
As soon as it was posted, it shot straight to top comment. The replies below exploded!
“Pfft hahaha! Instant face-slap. He admitted it himself!”
“This is clearly the same person from the satellite video. Still saying he’s not Pierce?”
“Hey, isn’t this Rumour Terminator Pierce’s alt? Scared of losing face so he’s defending himself here?”
“Stop hitting? Wait, isn’t anyone curious who recorded this video? Pierce was beaten this badly not by the Illuminati God Lord? But he was already like this before? Which immortal did this?”
“Hiss~ Who is this Truth Spreader? Even more savage than the Illuminati God Lord. This video was obviously edited. Kneeling for the full version!”
The seven-second clip blew up the moment it went up. Foreign netizens went crazy analysing it!
At the continental hospital, Pierce, wrapped head to toe in bandages, stared at the video until his eyes nearly popped out!
“Ahhhh! Who the hell is this? Who!”
[Resentment value from Pierce +1000!]
[From…]
Afraid I wasn’t humiliated enough, huh?
But then his face filled with doubt. Looking at the background, this video was clearly shot in Central Park!
But when he was in Central Park, he never said that line, and no one recorded him!
My injuries weren’t supposed to come from the Bose body hitting me?
“This video must be fake! Has AI face-swapping tech gotten this good already?”
“Ahhhh! My face is completely ruined! Illuminati! It must be the Illuminati! Old swindler, just you wait! Pfft!”
On the plane, watching the resentment value list refresh so fiercely, Jiangnan chuckled wickedly!
That throwaway was definitely Pierce!
“Little Nan! Little Nan? What are you thinking about?”
Jiangnan snapped back to reality. He checked the time. It was already ten in the morning!
He grinned. “Daddy~ Baby needs to use the toilet. Pudding, remember to eat one every half hour, okay? They’re all here!”
With that, he shoved the bag he had been carrying on his chest to Lynx!
Inside were the laptop with the curse pattern data, a bunch of little Puddings, and the pet egg!
Lynx rolled her eyes at Jiangnan and moved aside to let him pass!
Jiangnan hopped and skipped to the plane’s bathroom and locked the door!
He pulled out a note, placed it on the sink, and smirked. “Don’t blame me! This is something I decided to do myself. No need to drag everyone into the danger!”
With that, his body instantly vanished from the bathroom!
High above the Pacific at ten thousand metres, Jiangnan’s figure appeared out of nowhere. He looked back towards America, his smile still brilliant!
His eyes carried an extreme madness!
“A person only lives once. Gotta go crazy at least once. If I don’t do this, even going back alive I won’t sleep well!”
With those words, his body sped towards Vegas airport with rapid teleports!
Jiangnan had gone back to snatch the Bose body, on his own!
No longer part of Dark Night Army, no mission, free of all restraints, he turned back!
Because even Jiangnan himself didn’t know what awaited him in Area 53, whether he could succeed in the rescue, or if he would die there!
But Jiangnan didn’t want to slink back to the country feeling this suffocated. Try it and find out!
…
Lynx took out the little Puddings from the bag and handed them around. She ate one herself, then glanced towards the bathroom!
Mm~ It’s been half an hour. Why hasn’t Little Nan come back?
He couldn’t be doing something weird in the bathroom, could he?
And he even turned into a blonde little loli on purpose!
Lynx shook her head hard. No no no, aaaah! What’s wrong with me?
What kind of thoughts are in my head?
But as time passed, there was still no movement from the bathroom. Passengers outside had started knocking!
“Still not done? It’s been forever! Hey!”
Lynx was stunned. She suddenly looked at the bag. He had given her the data and the egg?
That egg was something Jiangnan never left behind!
Realising something, Lynx’s face changed drastically. She stood up abruptly and strode towards the bathroom!
She yanked the door. Locked!
She found a flight attendant and used the emergency key to open it!
Inside, no one!
Lynx’s face went pale. She spotted the note Jiangnan left and snatched it up!
Small note: I left something in America! Going back to get it. Don’t worry about me~ Take good care of my egg!
(๐˃˂๐)
Lynx bit her teeth hard, her face showing confusion for the first time!
Platelet and the others naturally noticed the commotion and gathered over!
“What’s wrong? Where’s South God?”
Lynx showed them the note!
Platelet: “Left something over there? What thing?”
Iron Ox was stunned. “No need to go all the way back for that, right?”
Lynx gritted her teeth. “Little Nan probably went to Area 53 to snatch the Bose body!”
At those words, everyone’s faces changed dramatically!
What the hell do you mean “left something in America”!
Has he gone mad? Going back now? America just lost the data. They’re definitely going crazy over there!
Not to mention Area 53, the infamous military restricted zone that doesn’t even appear on maps!
Jiangnan himself…
Slim Monkey exploded. “South God! This isn’t bold! This is insane!”
Katarina: “No matter why South God is doing this, let’s go back and help him. There must be something we can…”
Black Crow gave a bitter smile. “We’re on a plane at ten thousand metres right now. How do we go back?”
“South God tricked us onto this plane precisely because he wanted to send us back safely. He doesn’t want to drag the danger onto everyone!”
Lynx took a deep breath. Her gaze had already fallen on the cockpit door!
Platelet looked horrified. “Are you going to hijack the plane?”
In this moment, the usually calm Lynx had lost her composure!
